Amanda Chase

Amanda Chase is a certified vinyasa and kids' yoga teacher and Freelance Creative Consultant for wellness brands.

Brittany Filips

Feel your body connect on a deeper level of subtle body awareness with Brittany's Hatha Vinyassa flow class. Her goal is for her students to become more mindful in their body. She does this by guiding with breath , using it as a powerful tool to bridge the gap between mind and body. For Brittany yoga is much more then the physical asana practice. She hopes to inspire others to take yoga off of the mat and into their every day lives.

Karen Abbott & Mark Boyko

​​

Come play with Karen and Mark in a high vibration of fun and love. Partner Yoga increases joy, playfulness, and deep releases with the help of others. You don’t need to bring a partner, just show up and there will be folks to connect with. In community, learn to lightheartedly explore your abilities to open, communicate and trust. Karen has been teaching heart-centered yoga for 23 years in San Diego and rural Arizona with certifications in Hatha, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, and AcroYoga along with years of practice with Ashtanga, Anusara, Yin, Restorative, and Bikram. When she partnered with her yogi husband Mark (also certified), a childlike playfulness emerged.

Laura Adona

​

After practicing yoga for over 10 years Laura found herself looking for a spiritual connection and ways to educate herself in order to deepen her practice. Laura obtained her 200-hour RYT certificate at 8 Deep Yoga, a training program which emphasized that yoga is "deeper than asana". Becoming a yoga instructor has only made her a more voracious student of the world of "yogic" knowledge, but focusing on the breath and honoring one's body, she believes, is fundamental to any practice and something she hopes to impart on all her students. Her mantra is that anyone can practice yoga, all you have to do is breathe. Laura will guide you during a morning flow with poses that warm and awaken the body while greeting the morning sun.

Patricia Thompson

​

Patricia Thompson is in love with yoga. She has been teaching yoga for six years, and finds that with every class she learns more and becomes more excited about the yoga tradition. She encourages students to approach their practice with self-love, curiosity and patience as they encounter themselves on the mat. Students can expect to be challenged in Patricia's classes as they explore the deeper and more subtle aspects of who they are, by creating a relationship with the breath and paying attention to how it feels to be connected with their body. Patricia received her first 200 hour teacher certification from the Sivananda Ashram in Grass Valley, CA. This experience inspired her to complete a second 200 hour certification from Yoga Yoga, in Austin, TX.​
